Server Support Products for Solaris Server Installation Guide

 Update server information to the storage system —Thisoption

sends the server name and IP address to the storage system and,

if needed later on, allows you to update or view this data. For

Windows servers running Navisphere Server Utility version 6.20 or

higher, if the Registration Service feature remains enabled after the

installation of the server utility, the utility will automatically register

theserver’sNICsorHBAswiththestoragesystemandupdate

server information whenever there is a configuration change (for

example, when you mount new volumes or create new partitions).

 Verify server high availability (HA) — Allows you to determine if

the server is configured for high availability (HA) by verifying that

theserverhasatleastoneconnectionpathtoeachstoragesystem

SP, and that PowerPath or some other failover software, such as

DMP or PV Links, is running. The utility will not detect any other

native failover software, such as Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager or

Linux native multipath (MPIO).

This feature is currently supported only on CX3–series and CX-series

storage systems and is not available on Solaris iSCSI servers.

 Use the snapshot feature — Storage systems running Navisphere

Express can start and stop a snapshot on the source server (server

assigned to the source virtual disk), or can allow or remove access

to the snapshot by the secondary server (server assigned to the

snapshot).

You can run the Navisphere Server Utility from the CD or you can

install it on the servers that are connected to the storage system. We

strongly recommend that you install the utility on each server that is

connected to the storage system.
